WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2638

• Pattern: GFP is seen throughout the body wall and sex muscle cells. Confocal microscopy of dissected gonad arms shows GFP expression in the DTC and in the gonad sheath cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr2638
• Remark: Expression Pattern was only examed in adult hermaphrodites. Expression in other life stages was not described. lsm-6 is called talin in this article.
